 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
retail was 12,800 HKD, which works out at about 1,650 USD. Even for two that does seem rather expensive for 1000% bricks. What do they normally go for?

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
That price was for the set, not sure of the average price for a 1000% percent. Isn't it like 250-400?
Yeah it was a big purchase and after much debating I gave in, the sculpted helmets sold me.

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
They're nice but the price is silly...i'd rather spend less on the older Medicom RAH figs.

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
Gotta recoup the tooling costs for those helmets . . . only a slim chance of ever using 'em again, plus the band's %, plus the crappy JPN economy plus the insane shipping cost because they are so stupidly huge . . . remind me, why do we buy this stuff again?

See i have the Bearbricks set, but i really love the sculpt they've done on these. I just can't do shit that big(and that expensive). As Gforce said above, i'd rather pay lesss for the Daft Punk RAH figs, which are really fucking lovely.

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
If the mask displays actually worked, I'd consider them for the price. Otherwise, yeesh! I too would rather go the RAH way, wish I could find either set, but I'm too lazy to hunt them out.

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
I used to be mad into space lego..........until Star Wars lego came out, and my eyes were turned. I would be really interested in these if they were 400%, Kubrick stuff is always so well made, and the detail is spot on.

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
Got my set in the mail today, really amazing. The size does the helmets justice. Probably the closest you can get to owning the helmets. The 400% Bearbricks look tiny next to them!

 Re: Daft Punk 1000% Kubrick Set
Got some pix, couldn't find my regular camera so I had to settle for this one. These guys are the highlight of my collection now, not to mention they're helmets double as mirrors.
